Orlando shooter's father makes eyebrow-raising appearance at Clinton rally
The father of Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen was spotted sitting behind Hillary Clinton at a Monday campaign rally in Kissimmee, Fla. Clinton, visiting the central Florida city to talk about jobs, was actually paying tribute to the victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre when an employee of NBC affiliate WPTV noticed that one of the rallygoers seated prominently behind the Democratic presidential nominee was Seddique Mateen, the mass shooter’s father. The elder Mateen became the subject of widespread media attention in the aftermath of the attack on the gay nightclub that killed 49 people.
